Manupilator Definition
A manipulator is a mechanical system that has the function of holding, transporting, positioning and guiding materials in industrial production processes. These devices allow operators to safely and precisely perform work steps that would otherwise be difficult or dangerous to perform manually. Manipulators come in two different forms, robotic arms or simpler mechanical arms, and are mostly powered by hydraulic, pneumatic or electric motors.
Optimisation with Press Machines
Optimisation with press machines is the process of making production stages more efficient by allowing manipulators to work in harmony with these machines. Press machines are powerful machines used for processing, bending, crimping and shaping metal sheets. The integration of manipulators with press machines automates material handling and positioning on the production line, reducing the margin for error and speeding up work processes.
This optimisation is achieved by selecting the right equipment and careful planning of workflows. The correct integration of manipulators with press machines increases production capacity, reduces labour costs and increases precision in production processes. In this respect, industrial enterprises increase their competitiveness and create a more efficient and safer operation.
Usage Areas of Manupilators
Manupilator systems are widely used in industry. When we examine these areas as SBFM Makine;
- Automotive Industry: It is used for joining heavy and sensitive vehicle parts.
- Aviation and Space Industry: It is used in processes that require attention and precision such as transport and assembly of aircraft parts.
- Medicine and Health Sector: It is used in treatment processes working with robotic systems.
- Material Handling and Logistics: It is used in the transportation or storage of heavy loads from one place to another.
- Food and Beverage Industry: It is used in processes that require the same repetition such as packaging and filling.
Manupilator Types
There are types of manipulators according to the needs and usage areas:
1. Mechanical Manupilators: They are simple to use and generally manually controlled devices. It is mostly used in operations requiring basic handling.
2. Hydraulic/Pneumatic Manupilators: They are powerful, structurally complex systems that operate with hydraulic or pneumatic systems. It is used in operations that require precision such as carrying and positioning heavy loads.
3. Robotic Manipulators: CNC controlled robotic arms that require software. When used in processes requiring high precision and repetition, it increases productivity while lightening the workload.
Advantages of Manupilators
Manupilators have many advantages:
- Safety: Minimises the risk to operators in hazardous operations.
- Efficiency: Increases the speed and accuracy of operations and integrates into production processes.
- Precision: It performs complex operations that are difficult to perform manually and require precision.
- Flexibility: It adapts to many workpieces and production processes.
Result
Manipulators are widely used in modern industrial production processes. It offers great opportunities in terms of both safety and efficiency. With technological developments, the use of many machines operating with manipulator systems has also increased. In the machinery industry, hydraulic presses working with manipulator systems save time and cost while creating an efficient working area. Machines with manipulators make important contributions in many areas from production to logistics, from medicine to food industry. The hydraulic dishing presses offered by SBFM Makina are systematic machines that work with a manipulator system and provide many advantages in metal pressing processes. It can be used in many areas such as LPG, LNG, Fuel Oil, Food, Autoclaves, Reactors. Since it is possible to process many plates in the production process, it reduces the risk of deviation and deterioration in metal processing. Thus, it offers the advantage of efficient, robust and high quality production.
